Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.Women are less strong than men. That at least is what
13、people say. Women are called“ the weaker sex“ ,or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex“. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to li
14、ve until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women s bodies really weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women s speeds are always slower than men s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. O
15、ne of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first“ Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl50 years later !This does not mean that women are catching men
16、 up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙)injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very com
17、plicated when there are two separate sexes ! （分数：10.00）(1).Women are called “the weaker sex“ because_. （分数：2.00）A.women do as much work as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together(2).Which of the following is true
18、? （分数：2.00）A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.C.Famous Prime Ministers are women.D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.(3).“That at least is what people say. “ means people_. （分数：2.00）A.say other things tooB.don t say this muchC.s

20、).In this passage the author implies that_ . （分数：2.00）A.women are weaker than men, but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than womenWhat do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must in
21、clude the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis,a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be in-cluded as basic, such as health and education facilities. We may think of all of these as ou
22、r needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add
23、our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of liv-ing is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a televi-sion would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it
24、is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society. （分数：10.00）(1).What we need in life is divi
25、ded into_ according to this article. （分数：2.00）A.the basic necessities and luxuryB.many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD.the basic necessities and reliable income(2).A person who gets the basic necessities

27、g nothing more than reliable income(4).With time going on,_. （分数：2.00）A.a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB.the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD.the basic needs can be changed into a luxury(5).If most of the people
28、 of a country have a television, we_. （分数：2.00）A.can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelterB.can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC.cannot say the television is in the basic necessitiesD.can say every family must have oneIncreasingly, over t
29、he past ten years, people-especially young people-have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chem
30、ical additives (添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic ( 有机的 ) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished
31、by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount-but not the quality-of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural food
32、s also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better
33、 than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from ex-perts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-es
34、sential food! Al-though a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain t
35、oday each person con-sumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy di-et. In white bread, fo
36、r example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet con-tains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is pl
37、aced on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern ex-perts on “healthy eating“. （分数：10.00）(1).People have become more interested in natural foods because_. （分数：2.00）A.they are more health consciousB.they want to taste all kinds of foodsC.natural foods are more delicious than proce
38、ssed foodsD.they want to return to nature(2).Soil that is rich in organic matters_. （分数：2.00）A.has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB.contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC.has been nourished by fertilizersD.already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals(3).Chicken
39、s raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that_. （分数：2.00）A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB.they live in very crowded conditionC.the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD.they are allowed to move about and eat freely(4).According to the passage,_. （分数：2.00）A.people n
40、eed sugar to give them energyB.sugar is bad for the healthC.the use of sugar is habit formingD.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful(5).The best title for this passage is_. （分数：2.00）A.People s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB.Natural Foods and Healthy DietC.Harmful Effects
41、of SugarD.The Importance of Fiber in Foods三、Vocabulary and Struc(总题数：30，分数：30.00)16.According to the American federal government, residents of Hawaii have the longest life_. （分数：1.00）A.scopeB.rankC.spanD.scale17.A season ticket _the holder to make as many journeys as he wished within the stated peri
